Purdue v. Wisconsin (Game Thread)
- Thread starter Purdue Grad in Texas
- Start date
Wisconsin won this game. We did what we could,but they are the better team .
Make free throws and rebound. We win easily. This team hit their ceiling way to early it seems.
Painter needs to rethink his last second inbounds. We never even seem to touch the the ball at the end when we need to hoist a three. At least just get the ball to half court and let the guy heave. Its like were going for a fadeaway right near the three point line.
Why did I think this year was any different? Shame on me.
Played like ass for too much of the game. You'd think we would learn lessons but no ...
No we didn't. Missed a ton of layups and free throws. Rebounding was terrible too. We beat ourselves.
We put ourselves in this situation. I'm worried for the tournament. Just don't have the heart to punish people. Gard has figured it out and deserves B1G coach of the year.
Starting to think we should foul when the other team has the ball with under 10 seconds left and the game is tied.
They were better in the Mackey game (I think they snuck up on us a bit that game) but tonight... man, that's just an evenly matched team catching the breaks.
Welp.....gotta say, that was a disappointing ending. Boilers hung in there.....but man, that just summed up the entire conference season for Purdue.
CMP has his work cut out for him......dig deep Boilers and try to salvage the year with a great post-season.

First post. Troll. Get the Fock out of here.
Add another last second 3 pointer to Purdue's total. Might as well foul immediately at this point. At least save time on the clock.
Not making it out of the 1st weekend in NCAA tournament.
Losing 1st game of BTT
This is the Way. The Purdue Way.

They missed their share of bunnies too, but I’ll give you this, if we hit our free throws, we would have made it a better game. They got those rebounds because they are really good at it.
I'm not going to worry about the tournament, anymore. I'm just going to expect to get beat by some low seed on a last second 3.
I really wouldn't mind this team getting a little pissed off and breaking it off in Wisconsin in the BTT. That would ease the sting a bit.
Do you honestly believe they are better by position? Or better coached? Serious question. We have more talent, but don't play like it. Is that from our coaching staff.
Maybe under Keady we played with more heart and grit.
Gimme a break. They banked in their last 2 shots.
Wisconsin has gotten better as the season has gone on. We have gone backwards.
Other than the Michigan game, all of our losses were close and kind of heart breaking. Maybe the basketball gods are lowering our expectations right before the tournament so it can be that much better when we win it.
Who is the leader on this team is going to get pissed off and rally the troops?I'm not going to worry about the tournament, anymore. I'm just going to expect to get beat by some low seed on a last second 3.

Idk what games you’ve been watching recently but Williams hasn’t been the leading rebounder in a game for a while.
They can have the BIG champ, their team is built to win BIG games, but Purdue is better built to win in the NCAAs.
Probably need cmp to go away after this year unless he does something in the dance tired of this shit
If you think that this game really hinged on those last 2 luck shots, you and I watched different games.
Purdue should have been up 7-8 in the last 2mins if playing and executing smarter on Offense.
I don't know... we played them closer this time than last (and on the road, no less). I won't argue we've gotten better, but this team can lose by a last second three to anyone.
Or we are getting all of the bank shots and 45 footers out of the way in the regular season.Other than the Michigan game, all of our losses were close and kind of heart breaking.

Yep. My expectations for this time have dropped a lot. After the first few months I was the most excited about this team than I have ever been. Not anymore though. SucksI'm not going to worry about the tournament, anymore. I'm just going to expect to get beat by some low seed on a last second 3.
